Respite Care

The pause that refreshes.

Altavita Village’s respite care provides the option of temporary support for older adults and caregivers to help reduce stress, restore energy and keep life in balance.

Often a welcome and healthy option within the family caregivers’ support system, these temporary or transitional stays also offer guests the opportunity to experience the comprehensive services, amenities and life enrichment programs enjoyed by residents. Available services vary, depending on level of care, but all include nutritious meals, around-the-clock staffing and engaging social interaction. Guests and / or their families may choose from assisted living, memory care and the AFVW Health Center.

In order to take the best care of your family member at home, it is important to take care of yourself. It’s easy to arrange for your family member to be our guest. Short-stay guests enjoy the same amenities as full-time residents.
